Analyst Comment
Bizarrely, given that one of the main features of this monitor is the industrial design, our search for an image led us to the NEC US website which seemed to have an image of a different model, with wider bezels. Maybe somebody thought that “all monitors look the same”? Anyway, the firm’s PR company found the image in this article for us. Thanks to them. (BR)
